Ie what cossies come with as standard, but a unit to give electronic servo assistance to brakes that usually use the engines vaccum for the brake servo assistance.

Ive seen em available, but I cant remember where from.

Used on cars running ALS or properly mental cams that give fuck all vac on the overrun.

Anyone know?

Lloyd

i think ive seen something like that in the compbrake cattologue

they used a similar set up o the pug 405 mi16's but all you do is replace the ecu with a switch to power down after it reaches the required pressue in the system

over on fordpower, speak to madoldbugger ebcause i know we were wroking on something similar to this last summer, but i don't know if he got it figured out or not

Lloyd- Is this what you saw?
www.compbrake.co.uk/REMOTE_SERVO_UNIT.HTM
Thing thats engine vac operated by looks of it

what by sounds of that, whatever your on about has bugger all relevance to what im on about.

you want the abs pump but without the abs so that you don't need to relay on the non existant servo for the pedal

the sierra pump is basicly a pump that runs up to a pressure and then switches off
tby retaining the pump side of the equation you can do away with the servo and all you need to do is wire it in

the remote servo you've shown is just that, a remote servo that has a remote brake cylinder in it and uses the engine vac to work

Stavros

oh right, i "think" i know what you mean now.

BTTT for anyone who knows a link to what im on about, ive deffo seen em!

Lloyd

stav,thats not the bit i was looking at,i was looking in the bias valve set up.but you still need a engine vacume for them.can you use a mechanical pump,as in a ford transit type set up?

Stavros

Well, Cossies have an electronic setup, dunno about other cars, Transit too is it?
But I dunno how hard it is to adapt them to work with a cars normal brake servo, or what one would be best to use.

foreigneRS

transit is not electric, it's like most diesels that have a belt driven vacuum pump so probably too much hassle for you

why not do as dojj is suggesting and use a cossie one? not difficult, just needs a bit of rewiring to make the ecu redundant

Graceland

BMW diesels have a vacuum pump driven directly off the camshaft if thats any use?

Stavros

Nah, want electronic then can be fitted whereever.

Dont want to use a whole servo, just a vac pump to work it.

Im SURE there are aftermarket ones for rally cars running ALS and race cars running such wild cams they give next to no vac.

as mentioned, maddoldbugger over on fordpower has done this and, when i spoke to him the other day, said that he would gladly share this info with you if you wanted to use it
